Learn How to Approach Strangers

“You also are a mystery to the others, it’s not just them who are a mystery to you.”

Exercise: Start a conversation with people you’re never going to see again — in the elevator, in a coffee shop, in the supermarket. Just practice.

How Eating Affects Sleep

This will change what you eat before going to bed.

You might wonder, how does eating affect sleep? If you eat too late it can cause heartburn and acid reflux. Try to give your body enough time to fully digest your food before sleeping. Eating smaller meals and sticking to foods that digest more quickly can help. See here:

Quote I Love

‘All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.’ — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Without experiments you can’t find out what’s your passion. Without experiments you can’t find new hobbies. Without experiments you can’t build habits. I run monthly experiments all the time, do you?

Have a great weekend, all

Adam
